My Specialisms

FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS

Family and systemic constellations offer a safe and confidential space where personal issues can be explored and hidden loyalties can be uncovered. One session is often enough to begin to identify and shift unconscious intergenerational dynamics that silently play in the background, stirring the course of our lives. Any movement in the system will help to restore the flow of love among its members and transform our lives for the better.


THERAPEUTIC ART SESSIONS

Maria has eleven years of experience in offering therapeutic art sessions to groups and individuals, often as wellbeing support offered by employers to their employees, and by charities to their users. She has contributed to various Arts Councils funded projects for minority groups.


YOGA NIDRA (PSYCHIC SLEEP)

Maria has been offering 1 hour long Nidra sessions since 2014. Yoga Nidra is a laying down deep meditation technique originating from ancient tantric texts. Just 40 minutes of Yoga Nidra can be as restorative as 3 hours of ordinary sleep and the benefits can be noticed already after the first session. During regular sleep, we do not unburden totally, and unconsciously we carry our frustrations, conflicts, pain, and turmoil with us in sleep, hence sleep never goes deep. This creates constant body-mind tension and hormonal imbalance, which can manifest as insomnia or chronic fatigue. The practice is extremely beneficial for those who experience anxiety and depression, insomnia, and PTSD, but also for those with a stressful career or going through major life transitions.

Approach to Family Constellation & How I Work

Each Family Constellation takes about an hour.  The work starts with an interview to gather some basic historical facts about the family and key events.  
Then I will suggest an initial constellation using the other members of the group or objects as representatives.  When placed in position, representatives report changes in thoughts, emotions, and sensations.  Hidden dynamics are usually revealed. These can be clarified and movements towards a solution can be searched for, using trial and error, working phenomenologically and following the underlying principles supporting a healthy flow of life and love.  It is a deeply moving and healing process not just to be in one's own constellation but also
to be a representative in the constellation of others.

If you are new to constellations, a workshop is highly recommended. Maria can offer facilitation for private groups. Visit the11thhouse.co.uk for info.

For couples considering attending the workshop or having a session together, it is important to clarify the difference between couples therapy and constellations, and what you can expect from this work.

What a constellation can do for a couple is to look at how the dynamics in the individual's family of origin are impacting the relationship. It can also help to bring grace and acceptance to the end of a relationship. You are likely to gain new insight and understanding of where you are within the relationship and why. It is usually the case that the facilitator will develop a line of inquiry that relates more closely to one partner than to the other. For the witnessing partner, however, this process is equally insightful and very meaningful as it facilitates a significant deepening in intimacy and understanding.

Couples therapy can offer support during a crisis, professional holding through significant life transitions such as, for example, the process of rebuilding trust after an affair, conscious 'de-coupling', or the opportunity to work on how to improve relational and communication patterns between partners long term. This cannot be achieved in a one-day workshop.
